Tending to the M{other}
@ Facility Theater
1138 N California Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Sunday, September 28th, from 2PM - 3PM
Tending to the M{other} is a dance theater performance about the joys and hardships of caregiving. What began as a collaboration between two new mothers seeking connection and respite has evolved into a community project documenting this universal and transformative experience.
We have all cared for others. We have all been cared for by others. We wonder: how can radical love and caring be a roadmap for a more interconnected world?
Have you rocked someone to sleep?
Has someone cried out for you?
Have you helped someone get dressed?
Has someone you love thrown a tantrum?
Do you worry that your loved ones need you to feed them?
Do you have dishes to wash?
Do you have to pack bags and unpack bags and pack bags and…?
This performance is for you!
